Condition - There are numerous small stains as pictured. When I found this it had been hanging in a closet for many years and was unfortunately on a wire hanger that had rusted. I attempted to remove the rust stains from the pants. They did lighten but they are still there. The fabric has some variance in the color. I don't know if it's supposed to be this way or not but if you look closely you can see it. It's kind of throughout. Also the top and the pants are a slightly different color. One was probably washed more than the other over the years. Overall though I think this set still presents really well and maybe with more persistence you could get the stains out.
